I am grateful to have been part of the 2nd South African Mental Health Conference, hosted by the FPD . Over two days, experts; advocates; and community leaders came together to share insights, strengthen conversations, and move our mental health systems from evidence to action.
As a psychologist with a special interest in mental health advocacy, I found the discussions both transformative and deeply affirming, a reminder of how collective effort and shared learning can drive real change in the mental health landscape.
